A lot of massagers have warnings like that (like not using them to massage your legs, etc.) because the vibrations can cause blood clots to loosen and go to your brain and kill you.

jpegasus July 19 2010, 16:12:54 UTC

...fascinating! And certainly makes vibrators seem potentially more hardcore.

. . .

you renamed

"Do not use this product as a substitute for medical attention."

jpegasus July 19 2010, 21:37:42 UTC

"I don't think that's going to cure me!" "NONsense."

also yes did you not see my post about it

it has sparkling pegasus gifs in it now

fomicrymeariver July 20 2010, 00:40:50 UTC

NO I MISSED IT. A++ HOWEVER.

Close supervision is necessary when this product is used by, on or near children

...I--

okay

jpegasus July 19 2010, 22:29:12 UTC

Y-Yes.

Like, okay, it's a little patronizing but I can see why they'd need to include that warning -- Surely it is reasonable for disabled or invalid people to use a vibrator and they also have ones about not holding it under the blankets for a long time, or using it for X minutes in a row because it could get too hot -- I think they don't want disabled or invalid people to get hurt, if they maybe would need assistance turning it on or off etc etc.

But it's the inclusion of "children" on that list that is the most >->;; for me

plusqueparfait July 19 2010, 22:36:54 UTC

YEAH, I MEAN, THE OTHERS ARE PERFECTLY FINE, BUT... using it "on children"............. I think if you are otherwise capable, by the time you would be using a sex toy you would be able to use it without somehow swallowing tiny pieces or hurting yourself--?! (theoretically. I'm sure I could still find a way, but that will never go away with age)

jpegasus July 19 2010, 22:39:12 UTC

Right, yes

and like, this particular sex toy is like... two inches by three inches and one solid piece.

You'd have to be working really hard, I think, to get it all the way in your mouth if you were a small child.

...new journal naaaaaaaaame.

ALSO TMI ASIDE TELL ME IF THAT IS ANY GOOD another friend of mine has one but i'm not sold on spending more than like $20 on toys, as every vibrator I've bought has been used maybe twice then stuck back in my box never to be seen again (.......possibly i could've chosen another word there.) because it's just not as good as the cheap one i've already got.

jpegasus July 19 2010, 23:29:59 UTC

I AM VERY FOND OF THIS NEW NAME |D

I thought it was pretty good! It's all sleek and pretty and, uh, does what it advertises on the box (...yes okay, words.)

Honestly I think my favorite thing is still this, because well, it has two and a variety of speeds and modes, and also I like having the little hand-held clicky thing (in some dorky way it reminds me of like... a detonation device XD)

ALSO they gave me a 25% off coupon for anything purchased in august, if you want to get something and would like to use the coupon -- I don't think I really need to buy new sex toys two months in a row XD

rhymed July 19 2010, 23:31:37 UTC

OOO i could def. use 25% off. I am planning on buying myself something with my first paycheck of whatever new job gets me the fuck out of old navy, and i think something that gives me orgasms is a pretty nice reward. |D

jpegasus July 19 2010, 23:34:37 UTC

Just the 20% from the weekend was the difference between $135 and $100, and that's significant enough to matter to me, so yeah!

and man, orgasms is the best reward for a new job.

Ooh, interesting. I bought a couple new bullets myself recently, since my old one bit the dust; I bought two because one was adorable and only $16 so I had to get it, but it had lukewarm reviews so I got a better one too. >_> It's not as powerful as I like, but good for, er, warm-ups, or alternative spots. And. Adorable. It really is. The control box/battery case is this light blue five-pointed star-flower thing with a purple button at the center and it's so cute. I love it to death.

And it didn't come with that many warnings. o_o

jpegasus July 20 2010, 00:07:11 UTC

Awwww, that does sound really adorable! One of my favorites remains the first one I ever bought, which was stylized to look like a bull, on an astrology theme. I am not a Taurus, but it was just SO CUTE |D

and yeah, the manual for this new thing is pretty intense. I didn't think it was that complicated of a concept, myself XD
